Loretta Rowe, NCPS

Many of Loretta’s methods translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different ways of thinking and behaving to ease anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and bring more calm into daily life. Trauma‑Focused Therapy focuses on safely processing the impact of traumatic events and reducing the intensity of distressing memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Loretta discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods to match those aims. She treats the choice of technique as collaborative, testing what helps and changing course when something does not feel useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check‑in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief reflections, written check‑ins and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while still using the same therapeutic approaches a face‑to‑face session would employ.
